It will be constrained by the group with the smaller number of subjects.
There is not anything wrong with unequal group sizes, but it is less
efficient than if you had split your acquisitions evenly.

Hi Eelco
it depends on how you setup your GLM. Are you trying to regress out
the effects of obesity in some way? If you give us more details I
expect someone else can answer your question (Doug!)

Thanks for the quick reply!
So if I understand correctly, the power of say the controls vs. diabetes
(indeed it is type 2 diabetes) comparison is constrained by the
sample size
of the obese group?

Hi Eelco
it isn't really a question of whether our implementation is
senstitive to
this. It's that in general your power will be constrained by the
size of
the smaller group (I assume this is Type 2 diabetes by the way).
